MANY STARS ARE SIGNED Improvements in Pavilion Gives the Audience Full View of Stage. Plans for the summer opera sea- son to be inaugurated at Ravinia Saturday, June 30, include the pre- sentation of numerous works of the first order, with stars of the first magnitude as interpreters. Louis Eckstein, president of the Ravinia company, in making known the outline for the season, indicates there will be miner changes in the arrangement of certain special nights, but that the general regime of last season will be maintained. 'The announcement that Miss Caro- lige White is to render service with the organization brings a welcome assurance of splendid performances. Unusual interest centers in the opening opera, "I Pagliacci," for it ~ will serve to introduce to this opera public Miss Edith Mason, lyric so- pranc of the Metropolitan Opera tv of New York, who will on 1 sion give the first taste of © "atity in this intense little f.. The announcement of Miss son's coming gives added interest to the red letter date of Saturday, June 30. The Metropolitan musical bureau, representing the Metropolitan Opera company, has advised Mr. Eckstein 'that owing to illness Mlle. Ro- 'sina Galli she will not be able to ap- pear during the first two or three "weeks of the season. She is at pres- .ent confined to her bed. Tor the opening night, Mr. Eck- stein announces a double bill, in which Miss Edith Mason of the Met- ropolitan Opera company, New York, will appear as Nedda in "Pagliacci," and Miss Caroline White will be heard in the big scene of the "Jew- , of the Madonna." "Whigs White had originally been en- gaged for a number of guest per- formances, but now comes for the full season. She made a notable suc- cess in "The Jewels" when Wolf-Fer- rari, its composer, conducted its per- formance during an opera season at the. Auditorium several years ago, Marked improvements have heen made in the pavilion this year. The floor has been raised so that every seat has a full view of the stage. Objectionable posts have been re- duced in size. BOY SCOUTS WILL MARCH TO CHURCH NEXT SUNDAY Rev. J. M. Wilson to Preach Sermon for Local Troop This Week. Rev. J. M. Wilson will preach at 11 o'clock, Sunday morning, to the Boy Scouts on "Hildebrand and the Medieval Church." Thetroop camping on the lake front will march to the Wilmette Presby- terian church at Ninth street and Greenleaf avenue. The picnic which was postponed on account of the bad weather will be held Saturday, July 7, at the New Trier athletic grounds. Sixty members of the Wilmette troop have registered to attend the camp to be held from June 30 to July 5. The camping equipment will ac- commodate the boys who have signed. The fathers of the members of the organization donated this equip- ment. The "Bussacott" kitchen camp will be used to supply the troop with some real army cooked foods. The camp is held under the auspices 6f the local officers for the purpose of securing recruits for the Great Lakes Naval Training station. EERE Perishable Foods. Important amounts of perishable foods are made dangerous or inedible in households because they are ex- posed unnecessarily to heat, mois- ture, germs, dust, dirt, or to flies and other insects. SE Eg Es Ey Food Stored. Much food is ruined by being stored where flies or other insects or rats and mice can get at it. Much cereal food is ruined because it is not 'protected against weevil or other insects. | NORTH SHORE CAN HELP | IN TRAINING OFFICERS | Entertainments Suggested for Men | at Fort Sheridan Camp. Charles F. Weller and Charles E. Reed, representing the war depart- | ment commission on training camp | activities, announced plans for or-| ganizing the social and recreational | resources of Chicago and the com- | munities about Fort Sheridan to be | of greatest benefit for the men in camp. The work of the commission is di- vided into Y. M. C. A. work, the ex- clusion of vice and vicious resorts from camp neighborhoods, and con- structive recreation for the soldiers. "In our effort to make the men more fit in every sense than they have ever been in their lives," said Mr. Weller, "perhaps the most im- portant single method is in keeping | alive the link between the soldier | and his home. Frederick Law Olm- | stead gave as his conclusion from | long service in the Civil war that the two great influences in keeping men well were singing and letters from | home. "Better than letters from home will | be the presence of the soldier's fam- | ily near camp. It is hoped that every | community near a camp will make | special provision for the entertain- ment of the families of soldiers. "Equally important is the relation | between the men in camp and the | local community. Here every sort of | natural relation should be estab- | lished. Churches should make the soldiers feel welcome. The same principle applies to every lodge, col- lege society, or business association clubs, settlements, and centers. "Social occasions where soldiers may meet girls under wholesome con- ditions will be specially important. Officers and men should be asked to réceptions, dances, outings and par- ties. ' recreation 'SYSTEM FOR DRAFTING PROPOSED BY CROWDER Fair Drawing Is the Plan of Provost Marshal General. Further details of which the young men to compose | the new national army will be se- lected impersonally from Washing- ton were learned this week. Under the plan proposed by Gen. | Crowder every card in every regis- | tration unit in the United States will | be numbered from one up to the limit of registrations in that unit. Corresponding numbers will be placed in a box and drawn out by the military and naval committees of the house and senate until as many numbers are drawn as are necessary to make up the 1,500,000 men who will be selected at the first drawing. Thus, for example, if the commit- tees should draw out of the box No. 182, every young man in the country | whose registration card bears the number 182 would be regarded as se- lected for service. The provost mar- shal general has received from each | registration unit word of how many | registrations there were in that unit. How System Will Work. The numbers to be placed in the box will be numbered up to the high- est number of registrations in the largest unit in the United States. Thus, if No. 1 should be drawn out by the committee it would mean that the, plan by | | there will be one man drawn from | every unit, but if a high number, such as 700, should be drawn no man would be selected from many units, for the reason that there were not that many registrations in many places. Insures Fair Drawing. If by this process any state should be called on to furnish more than its fair quota of troops, its numbers would be reduced without affecting the draft, because a large surplus of men will be drawn to provide for such emergencies. It has been determined by the pro- vost marshal general that this is the best method that can be devised to insure a fair drawing. 0.0.0.8 Organizes Track Racing.
